'Breaking Bad' remains as one of the highest rated television shows of all time, and a year after the series ended, the show is still being talked about by many news websites.

Entertainment Weekly had an interview with the show's writer, Moira Walley-Beckett, and director, Rian Johnson, who were responsible for creating the gripping episode 'Ozymandias' and released some insight on its creation.

Walley-Beckett talked about a particular scene, where Walt rushes into his home to ask Skyler and Walt Jr. to pack their bags and flee with him.

Walter was confronted by a knife-yielding Skyler (after being certain that Walt killed Hank) and resorted to taking their infant daughter Holly with him, as he fled the scene.

"It was an extremely complicated scene to write. There were many discovery moments. It was somewhat operatic: many little crescendos and decrescendos. Each character, Walt, Skyler, and Walter Jr., has a different objective in the scene because they each have a different piece of the puzzle," Walley-Beckett said in the interview.

Director Rian Johnson recalled the toughest scene for him to shoot, and it was only tough because of the overflowing tension and emotion of the actors, but that with Cranston's input they were able to do the scene.

"The toughest moment as I remember it was before the fight, when Walt admits that Hank is dead and Skyler believes this means that he killed him," the director recalled.

He added, "The whole scene turns on that line 'I tried to save him!' and we did it over and over again trying to find the right way for it to come out. It was Bryan who felt that instead of an accidental blurted admission it should come out as a burst of uncontrollable primal anger."
